Problem dividing one column by another

[epmck11]

I'm very new to Power BI, so please go easy on me here. I am trying to calculate scanning percentage based on branch. So my data would look something like this:

Branch Electronic Signature

ABC     Y

DEF     Y

ABC     N

The idea is if product has an electronic signature, it would be a "Y", if not, it would be a "N". I created an additional column that says:

Scanned = IF (Query1[Electronic Signature] = "Y", 1, 0)  

This works and allows me to turn the scanned into a numeric so I can figure out the percentage. So I want to figure out what percentage of stops were scanned, so I create another measure:

Scan Percent = sum(Query1[Scanned]) / countrows(Query1)

But I am getting data that matches nothing like I am expecting. What am I doing wrong? What is a better way to do this? Please help and I'm sorry for the newb question!

Hi @epmck11,

According to your description, you want to calculate the percent of signed records of current type, right?

Percent of current Branch =
CALCULATE (
 COUNTA ( 'Table'[Electronic Signature] ),
 'Table'[Electronic Signature] = "Y",
 VALUES ( 'Table'[Name] ),
 ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' )
)
 / CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) ), VALUES ( 'Table'[Name] ) )

Percent of all Branch=
CALCULATE (
 COUNTA ( 'Table'[Electronic Signature] ),
 'Table'[Electronic Signature] = "Y",
 VALUES ( 'Table'[Name] ),
 ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' )
)
 / COUNTROWS ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )

@epmck11,

I  use your measure to create the following table, does it return your expected result? If not, please post your desired result.

Yes, that would be my expected result.
